Cruel trotting match in England.
--A trotting match came off in the neighborhood of Leeds, England, recently, between a noted horse called Jack Rossiter, now aged nineteen years, and a mare called Matchless, purchased for the sole purpose of defeating the invincible Jack. The match was for £50 a side, and the distance to be run was fifty miles for the horse, and forty-nine miles and one thousand two hundred and sixty yards for the mare. At the end of the forty-fifth mile the mare fell down dead. Jack Rossiter did his fifty miles in three hours and thirty minutes, twenty-seven miles of the journey having been completed in one hour and forty minutes. The winner was in a most deplorable state at the finish.
